The chassis is the same. I know of the other differences.
Not quite the same as a 257/261/262. The 254 has a different crank which is dedicated to the 254 only with a different stroke.
Some but not all, differences between 254 and 262 would be 254 has smaller fuel tank and shorter top handle,smaller muffler, 2 shoe clutch vs 3 shoe on 262. Also a smaller top cover and different air filter setup. The 254 is close to a pound lighter even though they share the same basic case. As an example,the 254 cylinder weighs a little over an ounce less,the top hande weighs an ounce less,the muffler is over an ounce less,etc. An couple ounces here and there adds up pretty quick.
Yep I did good eyeDid you happen to buy this on eBay??? I think you may have purchased it off of me...

Another great post.
All I know for sure is that I love the 2 series Huskys. I NEED another 242XP. I let Wiggs talk me right outta my last one.
According Husqvarna Norway the 254 crankshaft have got a new number, 506 18 23 03.All 3 saws use the same crankcase. What's different is the 254 has it's own crank, (which is NLA), and the 257 and 262 use the same crank. Speaking of NLA, more parts will be finding their way onto that list in the not too distant future. 262 and 257 top ends are NLA. (257 within the last 2 months) Less than ten 254 top ends remain, so be mighty careful when grinding on these things
The 254 is the best 50cc class saw built.
